ROCHESTER, N.Y. - Scoring her third goal of the season,

Hitting the road for the first road trip of the season following a six-game homestand, the Cardinals (0-6-1 overall) were quick to outpace St. John Fisher (3-5-1 overall) from the opening faceoff. With both teams held without a goal in the first period, the Cardinals carried an 11-6 shot differential heading into the second after killing off a late penalty on an interference call.
Despite the edge the Cardinals continued to hold, St. John finisher snagged the first goal on a power play. Following the cross-checking call to the Cardinals, Keira Reckley scored unassisted to give St. John Fisher the lead. With three minutes remaining in the period, St. John Fisher would take a two-goal lead with Sophie Grant putting a puck behind Cardinals' goaltender

With just over 10 minutes to go in the final period, the Cardinals capitalized on several turnovers by St. John Fisher in the neutral zone, regaining possession as Caldara stripped the puck at the St. John Fisher blue line. Caldara drove up the middle and scored over the shoulder of goaltender Brynn Bacak to cut the score in half.
Bacak earned the win, making 34 saves. Guglielmi finished the evening with 15 saves for the Cardinals.
Caroline Kee '26 registered six shots on goal, five of which came in the third period alone, and was good for nine draw wins from the circle.
